The November general election might be over for most people, but local officials still are waiting to finalize the results of the 72nd Wisconsin Assembly District race.

On Nov. 6, incumbent Rep. Scott Krug, R-Rome, defeated challenger Justin Pluess, D-Wisconsin Rapids, by fewer than 200 votes out of more than 28,000 cast. Pluess has until 5 p.m. today to request a recount, Wood County Clerk Cindy Cepress said. Pluess hasn't made any official statements on whether he will request the recount, and he didn't immediately return a phone call from the Daily Tribune on Tuesday.
